Leading by example
Our senior managers are expected to lead by example by complying with company policies and by supporting their staff to do the same.
This is reinforced annually by a formal ‘Management certification on business ethics’ in which over 14,000 managers confirm their understanding and compliance with the company policies contained in the Employee Guide to Business Conduct.
Management certification promotes awareness of GSK’s ethical standards and company policies. It emphasises the importance of the company policies to thousands of other GSK employees who, in the course of their daily activities, must comply with the law and company policies in the conduct of company transactions.
This is the full certification statement:
- I understand that GSK is committed to the principle of performance with integrity, and in particular, to ensuring that its activities comply with all applicable laws.
- I have received a copy of or have access to the GSK Code of Conduct (POL-GSK_001) and other GSK corporate policies through the Corporate Policy Index page accessible on the Corporate Ethics & Compliance Community.
- I have read and understand The Employee Guide to Business Conduct, accessible on the Corporate Ethics & Compliance Community.
- I have complied with applicable laws, regulations, and GSK corporate and local policies and procedures.
- I understand my responsibility to promptly report any actual or suspected violations of the law, regulations, or GSK corporate and local policies and procedures.
- I have reported all actual or potential compliance issues of which I am aware concerning legal requirements or company policies.
The following statements are also applicable to supervisors with personnel management responsibility:
- All people under my supervision have received copies of or have access to the GSK Code of Conduct and other applicable GSK policies and have been informed of their responsibilities.
- I have put in place appropriate measures to ensure that the people under my supervision comply with applicable laws, regulations, and GSK corporate and local policies and procedures while working on behalf of GSK.
- All new hire employees under my supervision have completed or are scheduled to complete the GSK Corporate Ethics & Compliance new hire training program at GSK Induction or through the Corporate Ethics & Compliance Community.
I have read, understood and shall comply fully with the policies and procedures specified in the learning activity.
